书籍描述

Erik Larson’s latest work of narrative nonfiction is DEAD WAKE: THE LAST CROSSING OF THE LUSITANIA, which became an immediate New York Times bestseller. His saga of the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, was a finalist for the National Book Award, and won an Edgar Award for fact-crime writing, and lingered on various NYT best-seller lists for the better part of a decade. Hulu plans to adapt the book for a limited TV series, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese as executive producers. Erik’s IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS, about America’s first ambassador to Nazi Germany and his daughter, has been optioned by Tom Hanks for development as a feature film.

His next book, THE SPLENDID AND THE VILE: A SAGA OF CHURCHILL, FAMILY, AND DEFIANCE DURING THE BLITZ, due out in early spring 2020, is a story of geopolitical brinksmanship during Churchill’s first year as prime minister, but also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill’s prime-ministerial country house, Chequers, and his “full-moon home,” Ditchley, where Churchill, his family, and his “Secret Circle” convene when the moon is in its brightest phases and the bombing threat is highest.

Erik is a former features writer for The Wall Street Journal and Time. His magazine stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's and other publications.

He has taught non-fiction writing at San Francisco State, the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars, the University of Oregon, and the Chuckanut Writers Conference, and has spoken to audiences from coast to coast. A former resident of Seattle, he now lives in Manhattan with his wife, a neonatologist and author of the nonfiction memoir, ALMOST HOME, which, as Erik puts it, "could make a stone cry." They have three daughters in far-flung locations and professions.

On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons (30,000 of them Londoners) and destroying two million homes. It was up to Churchill to hold the country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally--that she was willing to fight to the end.

##第一次听有声书,觉得这本太合适了——既是很平实的历史又有戏剧性,而且朗读得非常好,把丘吉尔轻微的lisping都学出来了。最后附上1941年美国参战后丘吉尔在白宫的演讲录音,也是平时看书不会有的彩蛋。至于内容,历史部分非常浅显(也因此很适合听),有趣的是丘吉尔和他身边的人的性格和日常,以及Blitz的阴影下不懈的生活,这就是标题中的 the splendid

评分

##记录丘吉尔和二战的书太多了,这本还能挖出新角度,并且写得如此好看,不容易。 作者从各种书信日记中拼凑出丘吉尔40年临危受命后一整年的英国全景。首相铁打的抗战决心和演讲技能自然是重点,让民众既沉痛直面现实又深受鼓舞。另一关键是他很早认清现实,处心积虑woo罗斯福。英国作为全村最后的希望如此顽强,真的非他不可。 感慨于聚光灯之外几位执行者的重要性--傲娇的Lord Beaverbrook打破常规加速造战斗机,病殃殃的Harry Hopkins促成英美牵线,他们实际改变了战争走向。 希特勒副手Hess孤身飞入英国太神了,为Führer忠诚奉献到失了智,这段真有意思。 通篇回顾,狂轰乱炸下英国人的生活并未停滞。年轻人还在恋爱,夜店依旧欢歌。无论夜幕如何残酷,天亮后万物生长,可谓奇迹般的韧性。

评分

##用近乎小说的写法,叙述了1940年5月到的941年5月丘吉尔作二战期间英国首相第一年的点点滴滴:40年5月底6月初的敦刻尔克,9月开始的德国空军对伦敦和英国其他地区的轰炸,丘吉尔对罗斯福及其特派人员的“投怀送抱”但又同时要面对本国人民对他过分依赖美国的批判,还有他身边亲近人物的故事(女儿Mary,私人秘书之一的Colville-这两人的日记有被作者大量引用),以及一些普通英国民众的心酸(作者依旧是引用私人日记和一些杂志收集的读者回复)。看得出作者是用心的,也是想在众多的丘吉尔/二战研究作品中脱颖而出独树一帜。文笔并没有很特别,感觉还可以再精雕细琢一些,不过估计也就不会有那么大的受众了吧。
